My heart sinks as my mind races with questions. What happened to this man? This is ALS? I thought he was just diagnosed? I knew it was rapidly progressing, but it can’t happen this fast, can it? My train of thought was interrupted by another question from the doctor: “Can you speak at all?” He shakes his head. No. Only the ventilator speaks.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge showed us that when small things add up, they can make the impossible happen. As part of our #EveryDropAddsUp campaign, we're asking YOU to share what things add up to make a difference in your life. Below are some of the responses we've received so far.

Kevin Gosnell, founder of ALS ONE, passed away on Monday because of complications from the disease. Gosnell was diagnosed with ALS in spring 2015 and immediately put his business acumen and CEO leadership skills to work, convening the best minds in the ALS community. He founded ALS ONE in January 2016 and brought together leading neurology experts and care specialists from Massachusetts in partnership to leverage their institutions’ strengths to expedite progress toward finding a treatment for ALS within the next four years.
